Because some people have a fundamentally different view on what they find valuable
Think of it this way. Baseball reference likes to pay attention to what actually happened. Their WAR reflects this. Fangraphs likes to pay attention to what should have happened. Their WAR reflects this. And baseball prospectus likes to look at what should have happened for what should have happened and that's what WARP reflects
Its subjective because it's not made up of any one thing. Find the one you like and understand there are pros and cons to all versions
